One thing I've always admired about Dr. Peterson is that despite being one of the foremost Mormon intellectuals of the early 21st century, he retains a sense of humor that is far from being considered "highbrow" at all times. A fine example of this would be the following: http://i817.photo...

Finally, the library got me a copy of your most precious text. I will read those hundred pages and let you know what I think.

So what did you think?

The esteemed Dr. Daniel C. Peterson's Facebook page recently hosted a rather interesting exchange between David Bokovoy and the brothers Craig and Blake Ostler. I thought it interesting enough to preserve some comments and archive them here for posterity. Rather than offer a long winded explanation ...

When I heard about Helen Mar Kimball in High Priesthood group around 1981 my first thought was that the Prophet was a forerunner.

I think you are severely hurting the case for Mormonism with that post Dr. Darby. I'm of the opinion that the promptings of the Spirit are not auditory or any other sensory experinces. For example, the vision in the sacred grove was not an event that actually involved the Prophet actually hearing o...
